GONE WRONG
The Cashier OF the Stafford National
Bank IA Defaulter to a Large Amount
The Bank Practically Ruined.
STAFFORD SPRrSGs, Conn, Oct. 10.

STRAFFoRD SPRINGS, Conn, Oct. 10.
great sensation was created here this af-
ternOon when the fact became known that K.
S. Hicks cashier of the Stafford National
Bank, was defauter to a large amount.
Upon the bank door is posted the notice,
Bank closed pending investigation" Ma
tional Bank Examiner II A. Forman of the
district of Illinois and Missouri, was found
at the Springs House and told the following
story to an Associated Press correspondent:
On the 22nd of September | was sent into
this district on special service from my own
district. When | examined the Stafford Ma
tional Bank | discovered checks had been
drawn by r. S. Hicks, treasurer, to the
amount of Sl3,500. | then suspected some
thing wrong in the banks affairs. Upon fur
ther investigation discovered the cashier
had only $500 to his credit. The exact
amount of the deficit can be ascertained when
all the checks that have been drawn on the
New York and Boston banks are presented
and statements rendered by those banks.
The total loss to the institution will be over
100000, and of this the cashier confesses
having taken S73 900. The capital stock of
the bank ia 100000 and the surplus 1874 900,
while the undivided profits amount to over
S3000 A large number of false entries ap-
pear on the books consisting of over state
ments of amounts due the bank from New
York and Boston correspondents. The fals-
ty of these entries has been clearly shown by
the comparison Of his books with the accounts
of New York and Boston banks.
State District Attorney Stanton Of Hart
ford arrived this forenoon, also Nathan d.
Bates, U. S. Marshal of the district of Conn.
Papers were Immediately drawn charging
Hicks with embezzlement of $50, 900 and
making false entries. He was Immediately
arrested and conveyed to Norwich this after
noon. The penalty is not less than FIVE or
more than ten years. The Vermont Lumber
Co., of which he was treasurer, has capital
of $4,000 and is involv ed to an extent un-
known. Investigation show the bank is
practically ruined, only sll 900 being the
cash on hand. Hicks is 40 years old and has
resided here 20 years. He has built up the
town to its present fourishing condition and
and is an influential member of the Episco-
pal church. He is married and has been con-
nected with the bank since 1882.

ANNUAL SESSION
Ofthe Bankers Convention Held at Pitts.
burg, Pa.

PIrTsBURG, Oct. u.
In the afternoon session of the bankers
convention, Hon. Berish wilkins of Ohio,
delivered an address on ''How TO avoid the
accumulation of surplus in the future"
he said the question could no longer be
put aside; that prompt, thorough and heroic
measures must be adopted by the 50th Con-
gress which assemblies in December. After
citing various plans, including a distribution
OF the surplus among the States and sppro
priations for great public works, he said it
must be done largely BY reduction of the
customs duties. He SAID the ASSOCIATION rep
resenting the aggregated value of the coun-
try, could do no wiser thing than to pass
resolution demanding that Congress repeal
the surplus taxation TO the end that surplus
IN the treasury be avoided; repeal the tax on
tobacco; reduce the duties on sugar, rice,
salt, lumber, common cloth, window glass,
and certain kinds of iron products. A large
portion of the tax on the circulation of Ma
tlonal banks could well be remtted also. He
closed by stating that relief could come in no
other way than reduction of revenues and
taxation.

THE GREAT EXPLORER.
Encouraging News from Stanley-Further
In the Jungle Than Any Other White
Man.
New YORK. Oct. -.

NEW 1ORk, Ocl- IL.
Stanley is progressing steadily towards his
goal IN Central Africa.
This encouraging news is the latest authen
tic information received from the famous ex
plorer. 1t contained in private letter ad-
dressed to Lieutenant Z. H. Taunt, T. S. N,
now in New York, by Mr., Swinburne, Stan
ley's agent and right hand man at Klnchssa,
Stanley Pool, Central Africa. The letter
bears an early date in September, and came
by the usual route from Leopoldville, Bona,
Lisbon and Liverpool to New York. 1t was
received four days ago.
Mr.. Swinburne's letter says that Stanley
has progressed $50 miles further up the Aru-
wiwi river since the sending of the last dis
patches and has thus already penetrated fur
ther than any explorer has gone before. Two
entrenched camps were built at the new halt
ing place. These camps, however, appear to
be unnecessary as the natives do not seem to
be disposed to attack the party.
Mr. Stanley and his men, the letter says
are in good health and spirits. Stanley sent
the steamer Florida back to Stanley Pool
which is one of the stations of the Sanford
exploring expedition, for more stores and
men.
Lieutenant Taunt is making temporary
stay in New York on business at the Brook
lyn navy yard. He still retains his command
of the Sandford exploring expedition, and it
is by no means impossible that he will before
long return to his duties in Africa. He says
that SO far everything promises favorable
outcome of Stanley's present enterprise, and
that he has undoubtedly penetrated further
than any white man who has preceded him IN
the attempt The lieutenant himself returned
from the Congo about three months ago, be
ing obliged to leave at that time on account
of the failure of his health.
